To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, ANTHONY PALUGH, a citizen of'Poland, residing at Detroit, in the county of l/Vayne and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Buttons, of which the following is a specification. V

This invention relates to improvements 1n buttons.

It is an object of the invention to provide a button having an annular core, either circular or otherwise, which is practically unbreakable, and which when used for washable buttons may be made of a rustless material.

Another object of the invention is to provide a button having an inner portion consisting entirely of thread, thereby el1minating the necessity of providing holes more or,

"tion and method of manufacture hereinafter more fully described with the aid of the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 illustrates the core of a circular button with thread wound round part of the core, and some of the transverse threads.

Figure 2 shows a completed button and particularly the concentric stitching,

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates an annular core. tough material, usually metal, having a certain resiliency and capable of being flexed when submitted to excessive pressure, and, for washable buttons at least, the core should be made of rustless material.

Threads 2 are wound completely round the core. These threads must be wound closely one next the other so as to entirely hide the core, and, when desired, more than one layer of thread may be used for this purpose.

Transverse threads 3 are then sewn completely round the button connecting the op- This should be made of.

posite inner portions 4 of the threads 2. Some of the threads 3 are shown in Figure 1. Each of these transverse threads passes more or less across the centre of the button andin this way considerable strength is assured at the portion through which stitches are sewn to attach it to a garment. In order to reinforce the transverse threads 3 in proximity to the wound threads 2, and also to prevent any of the transverse threads being pulled out of place, threads 5 are sewn more or less concentrically, 6 designating the usual location of the outer concentric row of stitches. 7 indicates inner rows of stitching, though when desired the rows 6 may be continued uninterruptedly to 7.

Thread of any desired texture or color, or any combination of textures or colors or both maybe used, and buttons made in this manner can be utilized for washable garments or for outer garments. In the latter case the stitching of the concentric threads 5 and" 7 may be so sewn as to present any desired pattern or appearance, so long as the portions of the transverse threads 3 more or less in proximity to the wound threads 2 are reinforced thereby.

Moreover though the button shown in the drawing is circular I do not confine myself to buttons of that shape, as oval or angular ones can be equally satisfactorily made in the same manner.

Having thus described my t invention what I claim 1s:

A button comprising a flatannular core,

thread wound continuously round said core in one dlrectlon, each winding contlguous to the one next to it, diametral threads sewn" progressively across between the opposite inner edges of the core windings and contiguous at the outer ends, and concentric rows ofthread each alternating above and below the di'a'metral threads,
